Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Humiliation with Money
This sentence struck like a thunderclap in the heads of the Jiang family members, “What? There’s another five hundred yuan?!”
A group of people all simultaneously turned their gazes again, looking at Director Zhou take out a leather pouch from his briefcase, and after opening it, revealing two thick stacks of ten-yuan notes inside!
“Gulp!” Zhang Guihua couldn’t help swallowing her saliva.
Changhai hadn’t just saved a person; it was as if he had rescued a golden baby!
Jiang Changhai was also somewhat dumbfounded; he originally thought that the two hundred yuan and Industrial Coupons Uncle Yu Cheng gave him were already quite generous, never expecting the bulk would come afterward.
The couples from the second and third branches had eyes that seemed to have stopped moving, only fixated on the money in Zhou Min’s hand, as they had never seen so much money in their lifetimes!
Even the ordinarily composed Jiang Dashan found his breathing become irregular at the sight of so much money.
On the contrary, Jiang Mianmian and the other children didn’t feel too much; the former, after all, used to have tens of millions in her card, a little rich girl, and the latter were too young to fully understand the concept of money.
Indeed, they were a bunch of country bumpkins who had never seen the world; they were stunned by five hundred yuan!
Zhou Min observed everyone’s reactions from the Jiang family, and the disdain and arrogance on his face grew more intense, saying pompously, “This five hundred yuan is a reward for saving Yu Cheng. I’ll count it for you right here, and after this, we’ll be even. 1, 2, 3…”
Seeing that he was really starting to count the bills one by one before slapping them on the table as if bestowing charity, Yu Cheng suddenly clenched his fists, growling in a fierce voice, “Get lost!!”
He knew that woman wanted to use money to humiliate the Jiang family members, make them feel awkward and embarrassed, and to sever ties with him completely, perhaps even regretting saving him.
And by giving out so much money, she could also earn a good reputation for caring deeply for her stepson.
This was that woman’s usual tactic, and yet his dad was blind and gullible, only seeing the facade she put on, never willing to believe his own son!
Seeing him clenching his fists with a face full of grimness and hostility, Director Zhou hurriedly stepped back two paces: “What… what do you want to do?”
His cousin had warned him; this little creature had been training in boxing at a training base since he was young, capable of knocking down an adult with a single punch.
The Jiang family members were also startled, and several children showed expressions of fear; their big brother looked so fierce and scary!
Resentment raged in Yu Cheng’s chest; he really wanted to hit someone, when a pair of warm, large hands gently landed on his shoulder.
“Buddy Yu, let him count carefully. If even one bill is missing, he’ll have to reimburse us,” Uncle Jiang’s tone was as nonchalant as ever.
At the same time, a pair of soft, warm, small hands quietly held his ice-cold fingers, the big eyes looking towards him filled with concern and worry.
Aunt Wan also spoke softly, “Yu Cheng, come, sit down and have some water. Standing is so tiring.”
Without any comforting or advising, they magically smoothened the anger and violence in Yu Cheng’s heart, who ended up sitting on a stool, holding Little Lamb’s hand, and taking a sip of warm tea.
Seeing how easily he was pacified, Director Zhou thought that this little creature wasn’t as difficult to deal with as his cousin had said, at most like a dog cub that could only howl.
So he cleared his throat, pretending he hadn’t been scared, and continued counting the money, “4, 5, 6… 49, 50. Five hundred yuan, not a penny less, you all saw it clearly, right?”
“Saw it clearly, saw it clearly,” Zhang Guihua nodded like pounding garlic, not minding even if it was really short by two or three notes.
